Carpe Diem Tan Renga Month May 21st: "the mountain stream" by Thomas Hand (penname: Hando)


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of our Tan Renga Challenge Month. Today I have a nice "hokku" by Hando (penname of Thomas Hand), who was in our history once a featured haiku poet. It wasn't an easy task to find haiku by him, but I had the luck that I have done a few episodes about him somewhere in our CDHK history from which I could choose.

Here is the "hokku":


listening with another
to the music of the mountain stream
here is no other

Mountain Stream
And here is my response on this beautiful "hokku" by Hando:

listening with another
to the music of the mountain stream

here is no other                                             (Hando)

the silence becomes deeper
only the rustling of leaves
 
                         (Chèvrefeuille)

Awesome ... a wonderful place to meditate I would say. A place to try the Latifa Prayer meditaion maybe?

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until May 25th at noon (CET). I have published our new "hokku" on our Twitter account. Have fun!
